FDR signed the Lend-Lease Agreement in March of 1941, this offered availability of small arms and many more military supplies up to and including tanks and planes, to the British Government to aid them in their fight with Germany. At this point the USA was not yet involved in the fighting, but the agreement would continue even after Pearl Harbor and the USA declaring war. Some 39,000 M1911 and M1911A1’s were transferred to Britain’s armed forces, and this beauty is a real survivor.
Original finish has held up quite well, and the gun appears to be all original parts too, #’s matching slide! You very rarely see Lend Lease M1911A1’s from 1942 making this a pretty rare opportunity to get an original piece from early WWII. Gun comes as shown with one Colt / Scoville magazine.
